Found and aiptasia on my blasto frag cab I remove the frag completely and glue the thing outside of the water to prevent it from spreading. Alot of places online say not to glue them?

I would not being it’s a meat coral and should any glue get on it, it could result in tissue damage
I would use a syringe and mix lemon juice - tank water and kalkwasser powder mixed into a thin paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the center core of the aptasia and it will melt away safely

It really depends on where it is. If it's just a frag, chances are its attached such that you could cover it in superglue and avoid any coral flesh.

It is actually pretty far from the meaty part of thr coral at the base of the skeletal structure. Where the cut it to frag it.
